Cross River State cancels a local government recruitment exercise it describes as flawed and approves a new recruitment of 4,000 staff for the local government service. The state government says the decision follows an investigation into the earlier process, which it now treats as invalid.
Premium Times reports that the cancellation comes after a panel of enquiry submits and the government considers its report, which reviews the recruitment carried out by the defunct Local Government Commission. The Punch similarly says the state government approves the 4,000 jobs after cancelling the earlier “flawed recruitment,” indicating that the new hiring is meant to replace the rejected exercise.
Across the two outlets, the core points are the same: the earlier recruitment is cancelled on grounds of flaws, and the state proceeds with an approval for 4,000 new positions in the local government service following the enquiry process. The reports do not describe specific staffing roles or timelines in the provided excerpts.
